Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 3) and (5, 7) ?

−12
12
2
−2

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found by finding the change in change in the y values over the change in the x values:

`(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂-x₁)`

Where y2 is the second y point and y1 is the first point, same the with x values

So:

7-3 = 4

5-3 = 2

4/2 = 2

So the slope is 2
